Candidates applying for Headmaster (BS-17), Senior Headmaster (BS-18), and Principal (BS-19 and BS-20) positions must possess the required academic qualifications and at least five years of teaching or administrative experience.

- Basic Information Technology (IT) skills
- Knowledge of government policies and regulations
- Educational leadership and management abilities
- Teaching and professional competencies
- Problem-solving and decision-making skills
Only candidates who successfully clear the written examination will be shortlisted for the interview stage. Education officials emphasized that the recruitment process has been designed to ensure fairness, transparency, and equal opportunities for all eligible applicants.
The department has also clarified that applications submitted through postal services or manual methods will not be entertained. Applicants are advised to carefully review the eligibility criteria and complete their submissions through the official online system before the deadline.
In addition, authorities confirmed that no travel allowance (TA) or daily allowance (DA) will be provided to candidates appearing for tests or interviews. Applicants will be responsible for their own travel and related expenses.
